the other day I was taking to a friend and he told me that he confessed his girlfriend that he cheats on her and she said is ok as long as she doesn;t find out..and I don;'t understand how could that be possible i mean first of all I don't understand why he goes on with the relationship and second I don't understand how she could accept that? my firend told me that I have a child's perspective

I am a very loyal partner and would not take liking to be cheated on. Being told by my partner that he is cheating would devastate me and end the relationship for us. I could not accept that he is cheating let alone for him to confess to me that he is. I agree with you that I do not understand why he is in the relationship if he is going to cheat, as he can let go of the current one and continue with the new one. But for her to say it is okay then I can see how he is still there with her as to a sense she is saying it is okay to cheat on her.

I would not be able to accept my boyfriend cheating on me. I would definently end the relationship. On the basis, that if he really loved me then he wouldnt have cheated. Also, I could never trust him again. For someone to accept that, probably means they have low-self esteem. If a person valued themselves they would know that you dont have to tolerate that. When there are plenty of other guys out there that would never cheat

I am with you on this Alize as I could not accept and or take a cheating partner. I have been cheated on in the past and will never allow this to happen to me again.

I feel the same and as I said I don't understand how she could tolerate that...I mean I put myself in her place and I think that I would die knowing that he might be cheating on me. he said that he has arguments for what he does: as long as they are not still married than is normal to want to see other people. but if he thinks like this I don;t think he has arguments to why he continues with that relationship because you can't say that you really love someone when you cheat on that person

no...i don't care what the reason because obviously if he would cheat then he doesn't love me anymore (or never did) and is probably trying to get me to break up with him on purpose

OMG there is know way he would be getting away with that with me. She must be so young and naive to be accepting such behavior. If my boyfriend said that to me he would have to at least apologize and say its over and I promise not to do it again. Also, this depends on how I feel about him at this time. This could be a way out of a bad relationship period, for me. However, if I'm truly in love with him and feels remorse and will not do it again I will stay with him. However, if he tells me and continues without remorse its over for me. He is out the door for good! Some girls I think are weak and would rather be with someone no matter what, then be alone. I'm sure she is young and this is the reason for her response.

I guess i would try to understand the how and why my partner cheated on me. Because I love my partner, i would have to forgive him for cheating, but i can't say that acceptance is what i would have on my mind. Accepting cheating is like saying that it is all right.
